Rafael Nadal (Spain)glided into the third round of the US Open on Wednesday Aug 31,2016
as smoothly as the new roof over Arthur Ashe stadium slid shut for the
first time during a match.
Two-time champion Rafael Nadal, seeded fourth, defeated Italy's Andreas Seppi 6-0, 7-5, 6-1 to book a meeting with Russian Andrey Kuznetsov for a place in the round of 16

Note
A second round victory for Rafael Nadal at the US Open may normally be regarded as routine.
But
this will be a night long remembered for the Spaniard as he became the
first player to win a match under the new Arthur Ashe Stadium roof,
beating Italian Andreas Seppi 6-0, 7-5, 6-1.
Rafael Nadal
was in cruise control as he clinched the first set without dropping a
game but then had to contend with a moment of history midway through the
second set when rain started to fall at 3-3, forcing the roof to close
for the first time.
